Maureen Wallace 5th Dec 2020

We were very pleased with the service received from the Braintree George Yard branch. Lynne was most kind and helpful in arranging the funeral including the beautiful flowers. Kari in Clare Road was very supportive in our grief. The funeral staff on the day checked arrangements before attending and were well turned out. All in all everything went to plan which we were most grateful for.
